Book: Love Spells Reconsidered A Guide For Magicians Witches Clergy And Friends by Kenaz Filan
Some say that "no real Witch would ever cast a love spell to control another’s will." This must come as a surprise to the many practitioners, past and present, who do a brisk business in love charms, philtres, and spells. An internet search on "love spells" returns over 28,000 hits; among the first ten I found were love-spells-pheromones.com which hawks love spells, "pheromone love oils," and pickup lines like "That’s a nice dress. Can I talk you out of it?" Or there’s Aisha of magic-love-spells.com who will provide you with an "Isis Love Spell" for a one-time fee of $113 — but if your lover is particularly headstrong, the "Power Ritual" rachets up the volume to the tune of $230. As any experienced Pagan knows, many people believe that every Pagan priestess does love magic. As a Houngan, I typically get asked for love magic at least two or three times any given week. Proscriptions against love spells are relatively recent, and largely confined to Gardnerian and post-Gardnerian traditions. That being said, such rules are not without foundation. Love spells may have a long history, but so do slavery, female genital mutilation, racism, and a whole unseemly pack of other Stupid Human Tricks. In fact, there are lots of good reasons — both practical and ethical — to avoid love spells, both for yourself and on behalf of others.Understanding why such prohibitions exist — and why the demand for love spells continues nonetheless — will help you to make a wise and informed decision when the inevitable moment arrives when someone asks you to "lay a little mojo" on the would-be apple of their eye.
